BUDGETING
AND
FUNDRAISING
Breakfast Club of Canada supports community-based breakfast clubs by providing
funding, kitchen equipment, food donations, resources, and support to schools across
Canada. This funding is intended to be a sustainable source of partial funding for
the breakfast club and actual program costs may exceed funding received from the
Club. Schools are encouraged to diversify their sources of revenue by appealing to
parents and the community to contribute to the success of the breakfast club whenever
possible. Funding for the breakfast club should come from a variety of different sources,
including: school fundraising, parental contributions, local and provincial not-for-profit
organizations, service clubs, foundations, corporate sponsorship, and provincial or
municipal governments, where available.
Expected Program Costs
When estimating how much funding is needed to operate a school breakfast
club, several things need to be considered:
•
•
•
The number of students expected to attend the program
on average each day.
The number of days the program will run per school year. If the breakfast
club is operating for 5 days/week, the national average is 165 days.
T he estimated cost to serve breakfast to one student per day. The national
average is $1.00
The average daily cost of breakfast per student may be more or less than the national average depending on
the cost of food in a region and the type of menu offered each morning. If a breakfast club has already been
established, determine the program’s current cost per student per day by using the chart below:
